Ignition of propane has been studied in a shock tube and by computational modeling to determine the effect of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a fuel additive. MTBE and isobutene were added in amounts up to 25% of the fuel to propane-oxygen-argon mixtures in shock tube experiments covering a range

β¦ Synopsis
Detailed one-dimensional calculations have been pertbrmed to simulate reflected shock tube experiments in the weak and strong ignition regime in hydrogen-oxygen-argon mixtures. It is tbund that the experiments and simulations agree well in the strong ignition case studied, In the weak ignition case, the simulations show the same qualitative behavior as the experiments. Here ignition starts at a distance away from the reflecting wall at a time much earlier than the calculated chemical induction time. This latter effect is shown to arise because of the sensitivity of the chemical induction time to fluctuations in the calculation, In the calculations these fluctuations arise because of numerical inaccuracies. In experiments, they can arise from a number of sources including nonuniformities in the incident shock wave leading to nonunitbrm reflection, thermal conduction to the walls, and interactions with boundary layers.

In this paper, previously developed analytical approach (Chitkara NR, Celik KF. Int J Mech Sci 2000; 42:273) based on the upper-bound theory was applied to analyse the mechanics of the extrusion of non-symmetric U-and I-shaped sections and the symmetric ones from initially round billets through the
